Internationalism Vs Globalisation (Globalism)

Internationalism is willing cooperation Globalisation is Authoritarian Coercion. There is a huge difference. Does Ms Jolie know the difference, and does she even care? To be an internationalist there have to be ´Nations`. Neo-liberal´ globalisation does not think Nations are a thing, Neo-Liberalism is therefore not internationalisthttps://letthemconfectsweeterlies.blogspot.se/…/stck-in…

So does anyone else see the irony of Bashing Nationalism and yet professing internationalist views? Another Hollywood privilege Wank.

So does anyone else see the irony of Bashing Nationalism and yet professing internationalist views? Another Hollywood privilege Wank.Following the Dutch election claimed as a victory against populism and in turns nationalism and therefore a vote of confidence for Neo-Liberalism and business as usual. Of course, we will see what happens in France.

I was struck today by this video of Angelia Jolie at the UN.

“A rising tide of nationalism, masquerading as patriotism.”

Angelina Jolie issued a warning to the world while speaking to the UN.

There is a spectre haunting Europe: a culture and politics of fear, which asserts its growing influence in myriad ways. Most visibly, in the rise of far-right populist movements, the collapse of the social contract between citizens and political institutions, and in the proliferation of authoritarian and exclusionary rhetoric.This pan-European project has sought to capture a snapshot of the ways in which fear is manifesting in the social and political climate of six different member states: the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Poland and Sweden.

The narratives around the financial Crisis and also the Migrant/refugee crisis have been couched in terms of Global Markets, opportunity, Multiculturalism and fiscal responsibility even Climate Change. Austerity and remaining competitive in world markets is the mantra of the EU and National Politicians both Left and Right where they belong to the Danistocracy

In a Global Economy where the System of Political Economy has not just mal functioned but seized up, we should not be surprised that many of the same issues which make up Brexit are also present in the US and France.The Mistake many well meaning people on my side in the Left make is that Globalism and Internationalism are the same thing they are not. Internationalism is Willing Cooperation, Globalism is Authoritarian Coercion. ´´A biggly difference Sad!´´to give it some Trump spunk.

Leading on to President trump meeting with Chancellor Merkel in Washington yesterday.

My concern and interest was drawn to Frau Merkel’s insistence that TTIP as a Bilateral Trade deal should properly be placed back upon the table, she also mentioned that CETA was now in place, of course, it has to be ratified by all national parliaments so we will see.Nick Torrhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/…/us-makes-formal-apology…/

Nick Torr“We said nothing. All we did was quote a certain very talented legal mind who was the one responsible for saying that on television,” He’s a fucking joke. His main sources of “intelligence” are fox and Breitbart.

Roger LewisIt´s good to vent Nick. I did like his line about having something in common with Frau Merkel vis being ´tapped´it was in answer to the question from the Der Spiegel reporter I think the other question from the Die Welt reporter was met with a dismissive, oh such a friendly question.

Have you ever read Breitbart? I do not do so by default but have on occasion I often read points of view I fundamentally disagree with as I feel it is an excellent foil against my own natural confirmation biases.The part of the Press conference which concerned me most was Frau Merkel saying she hoped to get TTIP back on the table, it was after all a Bi-Lateral Treaty between the EU and the USA. And in a way she is correct, her answers around that question are very telling for those of us that see Brexit as an opportunity for Britain and British democracy but also the Nation state democracies of our European Friends, all 27 nationalities that is.Trump is unconventional and he may well prove to be an idiot, we will see how his results card looks and the US electorate have their first chance to comment in 2018´s mid-terms. The Fed rate rise and the forthcoming Fiscal Cliff in July will be interesting. There is a huge amount of party politics in play as politicians scramble to put party power and their places at the Washington Trough ahead of the interests of Particularly ´Fly Over´America. What the world really needs is a new Bretton Woods conference to sort out the derivatives debt bubble.I highly recommend Simon Thorpes Blog, his is a very clear mind on what oils the wheels of commerce and Governance, he has published an open letter to President Trump which you may also enjoy.http://simonthorpesideas.blogspot.se/…/the-50-biggest…

They passed the USA PATRIOT Act – and I did nothing because I am a patriot. They passed the USA Freedom Act – and I believe in freedom. They nominated Hillary Clinton – and I voted for the lesser evil. They declared medical martial law – and I didn’t want to kill grandma. They said […]
